Classroom Connect is a free outreach program that brings Clark Planetarium educators to your classroom via webcam. All you need is a computer and a projector. During the presentation, your students will have two-way communication with a planetarium expert who will guide your students through a variety of topics. There will be plenty of time for questions and answers.

Classroom Connect is for 3^rd grade or 6^thgrade classes. We can usually accommodate all of your class sessions in one day.

What You Need

The only hardware you will need is a computer and a projector. Many classrooms already have this equipment. We will send you a webcam and a USB drive loaded with software and instructions. Just plug both devices into the computer, follow a few simple instructions, and everything will be ready to go in minutes! We will do a test connection a day or two before the presentation just to make sure everything is working. After the presentation, simply return the equipment in the postage paid box. It costs you nothing!
